Having found this hotel from a hotel sight and reading all the reviews, I expected to find a super hotel. The position is super, the price TOO high for what it offers. The breakfast was VERY POOR for a 4 star hotel. The hotel was not clean either. I will not recommend it to friends.

We stayed at the Leon Bianco for a second time in April 2012 with a family member who was visiting. The view of the Tuscan countryside from the rooms was breathtaking, and the hotel is just lovely. The first time we stayed we had a suite, this time we had two double rooms but they were still fantastic. The hotel... More

This place was fabulous in many ways, first you can not beat the location, right in San Gimignano's old square. Everything is an easy walk from here, plus this area is great for day trips. The room was older but well kept. The view of the square was lovely, breakfast was very good with lots of options. This was our... More

We spent five nights in historic San Gimignano, in this perfectly located hotel on the Piazza della Cisterna. The hotel is comfortable, good value and the staff were helpful and friendly.
